TROPICAL WAVE AFFECTING THE TERRITORY

As a result, conditions will be partly sunny with showers. The Met Service has also indicated possible rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 mm or 0.20 to .40 inches are possible during this forecast period.

Winds: East-southeast at 15 to 30 kilometres per hour or 8 to 16 knots.

The DDM will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates accordingly.
